Absolutely the perfect Yorkshire pudding. Those that only cook for two. Half the milk and flour, use two eggs. Please add 30ml of water. Believe me. It makes a huge difference. As James mentions, make sure your fat or dripping is hot! Before pouring in your mixture.
When I say huge. Use your larger oven not a small top one as they rise like Batman.

Do as Pete advises - the water really does make a difference.

Perfect puddings

This is very similar to a Phil Vickery' recipe which had 4 eggs, 225gm of plain flour and 350ml or milk - I have used 400ml of milk.
To those that have had failures in the past remember to heat the oil in the muffin tins until they're smoking - it always works for me.
leave the batter mix for 4 hours at least before utilising. James also has his 8 eggs and 1 pint of milk somewhere else and does produce enormous Yorkshire puddings (as they should be).
Check the temperature of your oven as well if you've had failures.

Don't often make Yorkshire puds but decided to try this recipe. As they were just for two of us I made a third of the recipe and left mix in fridge overnight. Made 4 puds and goodness they were enormous! Puffed up beautifully and still bit soft inside. And oven was a bit lower on Mark 5/6 as was roasting too - did not seem to matter to puds.

First attempt at YPs at age of 68. Turned out perfectly risen just like my dad made in Yorkshire in the fifties. Mix is perfect, but make sure oil is very hot and don't be tempted to peek . 20 minutes seems about right. Thanks James.

Wonderful recipe. I struggled to find a Yorkshire pudding recipe that worked for me but this is perfect. The puds as light and not too stodgy. Followed the instructions to the T and they were scrummy.
I tend to use medium eggs which were fine. I would say add the milk gradually, a bit at a time, to help with reducing lumps. The mixture does seem runny compared to other recipes but that's just how it is.

I really liked these. A different BBC Good Recipe uses much higher egg to flour ratio & I find these too eggy & they shrivel out of the oven. These are much nicer. Only thing I'd do differently is add more seasoning next time.
